Applicationlfiled May 11,

This invention relates to improvements in that classot money banks or; receptacles distribution among the. patrons of their savings accounts to encourage-the saving of small amounts at convenient times, such* amounts beingv placed-within the money banks or receptacles and when a sufficient; sum has been accumulated therein. to wartron finds it desirable, the moneylbank or receptacle is taken-to the bank and presented tothe receiving teller, who holds the 'key to the bank, and he removes the contents and placesritto the credit-ofthe patron. 7

While it is desirable to make money re-- ceptacles of the kindin question ornamental] in appearance and large enough to attract attention and prevent its becoming too easily I misplaced or concealed by other-objects, it is, onv the other hand, convenient to havejthe money container small enough to be easily carried in a pocket or in a ladys 'hand bag.

It is the purpose of our invention to accomplish both the foregoing desirable results by providing a bank tha'tis ornamental in appearance and large enough to properly serve its purpose, and which incorporates a readily removable coin or money container that is of such size and character that it may be conveniently carried to the savings ban for the purpose of depositing its contents.

.To this end we provide a casing that may be made'in any suitable shape and rendered ornamental by artistic. design or embellishments and to place withinthe casing a coin or money receptacle that is provided with the usual coin slot and lock and connected to the casing in such way that it may be readily removed therefrom.

In the present embodiment of our invention we have made the casing in the general shape of the Liberty Bell, and the removable money receptacle is designed to occupy the cavity of the bell and to be inserted from the bottom thereof. -Obviously the casing may be made in any desired shape that is appropriatefor the purpose, and the money receptacle of a size and design to suit the tacle may be made collapsible, as in part of rant the trouble, or at such times as the pa- Liberty Bell; and'sec'ured to its upper end- .by means of a stamped metal fitting 2 is a member 3 1n representation of the bell supshape ofthe casing, or, if desired, the recepi MONEY BA K.

The casingis designated- 1, and, as previ-' ously stated, it is designed to "resemblethe;

porting beam. Fitted --within the down-'- wardly diverging flange 5"that surrounds the open end of the casing is the-peripheral flange 6 of an annularbottom 7,"=the edge portionofthe'flange 5 being'peenedoven the edge of the flange 6, asindicated at 8, v for'hold ngthe bottom in place. Inward displacement ofthe bottom '7 is prevented by he upwardly conver ging'iwall of the cas 7 mgr: we 1 I Within the casing 1 is a money receptacle 10 and a ring 11 that is angular in crosssection is fitted into the lower end of the receptacle in the same manner that the bottom 7 is fitted within the lower end of the casing 1, the ring 11 being held in lace by the peened over edged portion 12 o the receptacle. p

'Aclosure 15 is designed to occupy the open end of the receptacle 10- and its peripheral. flange 16 is spaced from its body portion by a cylindrical flange 17, the flange 17 being made to fit within the correspondingly '9 shaped flange of the ring 11. Securedto one side of the closure 15 is a lug 18 that is notches 29 which are of sufficient circumfer-V ential extent to receive through them the sockets 28, and when the receptacle is inserted into the casing, with the flange 16 en,- gaging the bottom 7 and the sockets 28 extending through the notches 29, and the re: ceptacle is turned in the proper direction as in a clockwise direction in the present instance-the portions of the flange 16 to one side of the notches 29 will enter the sockets 28 and thus hold the receptacle within the casing. As shown in Fig. 5, the central portion of each of the sockets 28 is bulged upwardly so that the parts will be placed slightly under tension as the flange 16 is cammed beneath the overhanging walls of the sockets.

The manner of using the device is evident from the foregoing description.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is 1. In combination, a casing having a wall provided with a comparatively large opening, a money receptacle that is adapted to be inserted into the casing through said opening, said receptacle also having an opening, a closure removably secured Within the open-v ing of the receptacle and having a peripheral to be inserted into the casing and having an open bottom arranged to fit within'the opening in thebottom of the casing, a closure removably secured within the open bottom of the receptacle and having a peripheral flange overlying the bottom of the casing, said bottom having sockets adjacent the edge of said opening, and said flange having parts adapted to enter said sockets when the receptacle is rotated with respect to the casing.

3. In combination, a casing having a bottom provided with a comparatively large opening, a money receptacle that is adapted to be inserted into the casing and having an open bottom arranged to fit within the opening in the bottom of the casing, a closure removably secured within the open bottom of the receptacle and having a peripheral.

flange overlying the bottom of the casing, said bottom; having sockets adjacent the edge of said opening, and the flange having parts adapted to enter said sockets when the receptacle is rotated with respect to the easing, the entering parts and sockets being so designed as to cause a binding between said parts as they are moved to holding position.

In testimony whereof, we hereunto aflix 7 our signatures.
